The 15 constellations seen in spring.




Constellations
Each culture has its own constellations, usually based on mythology. This article covers the 88 constellations used in modern astronomy, which properly speaking are not patterns of stars, as in the common use of the word, but areas of the sky (the celestial sphere).




The Spring Constellations

As northern winter winds calm down and the days and evenings finally begin to warm up, it is fun to go outside at night and look for the spring constellations. These star groups, most visible in the spring, represent a lion, a herdsman, a crab, a hero, a maiden and a crown. Each constellation has its own myth.
